I have honed it through the years so that I am no longer co-dependent,

yet I still watch over my loved ones, and it does take experience, patience and wisdom to love deeply.

It is perhaps most difficult for me to love myself.

On the surface I do, but sometimes feeling compassion for myself comes harder.

I am thankful to have learned to love myself and others in a healthy way, in an unconditional way, in a giving no-strings-attached way.

And I know loving and being open to be loved is our most important work, and stretches over lifetimes.

“A few fly bites cannot stop a spirited horse.”

– Mark Twain

I am in gratitude for my tenacity. If things go awry, I keep on keeping on until I get a better outcome.

So much to be said for not giving up!

Truly thankful for the determination and persistence I show, time and time again.

And I enjoy that quality in others, as well.

“All is Infinite Being and all is eternally becoming.”

– Ernest Holmes

To really understand that everywhere, everything, and everyone is part of the All-in-All is so amazing and so comforting. We, as little specks in the infinitely expanding universe are not alone, we are not separate, we are intricately linked by our very being. We belong.

I am so grateful to feel the truth of what I am saying deep within me, without doubt.
